Soaking Serenity

Baths and Teas for Stress Relief


These calming bath recipes are for all the ladies out there who could use a little R&R and some natural PMS symptom relief. For the irritability, tension, cramps, and mood swings, try soaking in the soothing waters of one of these PMS bath recipes. A hot soak in itself is also great for easing cramps and back pain.

Comforting bath for menstrual cramps

  • 4 drops sweet marjoram
  • 2 drops cedarwood
  • 2 drops Roman chamomile
  • 1 cup epsom salts

Add the essential oils to the epsom salts. Swirl into bath water with your hand. This blend is excellent for relieving menstrual cramps, easing tension, and strengthening your spirits.
PMS bath recipe for mood swings

  • 3 drops rose
  • 3 drops sandalwood
  • 3 drops myrrh
  • 1 cup milk

Add the rose, sandalwood, and myrrh essential oils to a cup of milk, cream, or milk powder. This is a perfect soak for balancing emotions and lifting that heavy cloud that can sometimes come with PMS. Tip* keep the shower curtain closed while soaking to contain the aroma molecules.

Tension bath recipe

  • 4 drops neroli
  • 3 drops geranium
  • 1 drop lemon balm (can cause irritation, low-dose appropriate)
  • 1 teaspoon sweet almond oil

Use the sweet almond oil as a carrier for your essential oils. Disperse into running bath water, soak, and enjoy.
